Description
This OST leans towards ambient-trance. I envisioned a short visual novel to accompany the soundtrack, to which each track represents different areas/points of my characters' journey back home. This was all composed in FL Studio, and the art was drawn in Clip Studio Paint.

Message from the artist
This was my very first ambient-trance album and I'm quite happy with how it turned out despite the time constraint!

Theme

Songs of a Forgotten World

How does it fit the theme?
The characters traverse through what seems to be an abandoned world devoid of life, with each accompanying track representing parts of this world as well as story beats.

Really fun listen, had to crank the volume so I got really bop along with it! I just liked it more and more as I listened along, storytelling is very good. This soundtrack would without a doubt elevate a game beyond just complementing it, and that is the hallmark of a great soundtrack :) Fantastic job!

That was very pleasant to listen to, really great edm overall. Maybe a little far of the theme ? But not this much, I understand the idea reading the lore. Very original take and well executed.

Yeah, you went insane with this one. Circumstellar was fucking insane. Your percussion on all these and use of panning tickle my ear in all the right ways. You also know how to make "moments" in all of these that make for some truly unforgettable music. This is the first project I've listened to for this jam and also the first full 5 stars I'm giving out lol. Good shit Carrot!

Amazing soundtrack, what an experience !

The instrumentation and arrangements are top-notch, and the video on Youtube with the tracks all flowing into each other is exquisite and very pleasant to listen to.

The different tracks were very very solid throughout.

If I had to pick favourites it would be Catastrophe leading into Circumstellar (love both tracks and the transition between them that gains a lot of energy when arriving to the second track), Contamination (great eery vibe) and Charlotte (very energic and carries a lot of emotions when arriving near the end of the album).

Excellent work, congrats !

Catastrophe: This wall of synths is insane--made me CRANK up my volume and immerse myself in a sound bath. I love the way it just keeps blossoming outward.

Circumstellar: OH?? So we're at the club now??? Is this a video game soundtrack or a set for a rave? This genuinely made me start dancing in my chair. I love how you blend the choir/chimes into a techno space, connecting it to the ethereal soundworld a lot of us (me especially) have tapped into for this theme.

Convalescence: So delicate while still preserving intensity. I love the bubbling synths coupled with the long, sustained piano. That violin part was clever.

Contamination: if this comes on at the gay bar, I'm shaking ass. Unbelievable work with the manipulation of that choral sample--that thing sounds alive!!! And that unexpected switch to an orchestral vibe was really smart. This track feels the most adventurous, with lots of dramatic shifts and intensity.

Consolation: Loving the distant bells and swarming chimes here, but what's nice is that no matter what the mood is from track to track, there's always a bit of grit surrounding the mix--or it isn't gone for long. When that does finally change in this track, and we have a plain piano, moments before the final track plunges us back in, it's extremely effective, like we've finally arrived at a moment of peace--just to lose it.

Charlotte: Aaaaand we're back to shakin' ass in the club. This is just epic. A part of me wishes I knew more about what was happening story-wise during each section of the song.

Commemoration: Maybe you've told us all we need to know with the bleeping monitor sound... she made it home, but at what cost? Maybe leaving things up to interpretation is just as special.

Well it goes without saying--you've done a magnificent job here, and I hope you're proud. This is stellar for just one week of work! Great work, and keep writing!

Wow, what a journey! I wasn't expecting this when I started listening to the soundtrack, and it was one surprise after another; a musical journey that kept on renewing itself right up until the end. Well done!

I would be very shocked if this isn't in top 10 what the heck

Damn this is cool. Makes me feel like I'm playing some really cool Zelda clone like Hyperlight Drifter. COMMEMORATION is my favorite track tho because it's make me feels like im in the save point.

Convalescence melody line with those violins goes craaaazy. Contamination is nasty in the best way. At worlds end is epic and fantastic. Well mixed throughout. This is not typically my genre but I enjoyed it!

Feels like a drunk trip after a dead dance in the club in Miami

Overall I really liked the electronic/rhythm game vibe. I could really picture an almost apocalyptic world through your music. I like the fact that your tracks have a strong/fast-paced rhythm, it makes the tracks interesting to listen to. Very interesting textures and sound design as well. Now I'd really like to know how the story ends :D

Notes about some of the tracks:

CONSOLATION beautiful track. That violin touched my heart.

CHARLOTTE the little bell near 1/3 of the song was beautiful, very nice add of details.

Was fun listening to your take of the jam.

Congrats for finishing something !
